- For best viewing use a viewer allowing at least 80 columns and select
- a non-proportional font. The combination of the OS/2 System Editor
- (E.EXE) and the System Monospaced font is ideal if the word wrap
- option (under the Options menu) is off.

- =======================================Short & Sweet======================
-
-
-
- InJoy is the best high-performance PPP/SLIP dialer available for
- the OS/2 operating system, and through InJoy's Network Address Translation
- (NAT - formerly known as IP Masquerading), you can connect your LAN to the
- Internet with a minimum of fuss and expense.
-
- InJoy is neither an extension to, nor a user interface for the PPP.EXE
- included in the OS/2 Internet Access Kit. Using IBM's code results in
- slower performance and a much higher hit on resource usage. Instead
- InJoy is a completely new dialer that uses the IBM TCP/IP stack for
- transport. This gives you the best possible performance with your
- existing Internet and TCP/IP LAN applications.
-
- For less cost than a router, InJoy puts your LAN on the Net using NAT.
- And, with automatic connections provided by Dial on Demand,
- InJoy is transparent to LAN users.
-
- To add spice, InJoy has been extended to allow the F/X Filtering and
- F/X Firewall functions to plugin, effectively making InJoy a product
- for the true OS/2 power user.
-
- Network Address Translation, Dial on Demand and Host Triggered Actions
- are available only in the registered "Extended Client", "SOHO Client"
- and "Professional Enterprise Server/Client" versions. Those functions
- are not available in the "Basic Client" version, whether registered or
- not. The "Extended Client" version will allow NAT for no more than
- four LAN workstations.
-

- =======================================Your Attention Please==============
-
-
-
- This software requires registration after a 30 day trial period. For
- registration refer to the included file: REGISTER.TXT.
-
- By installing and using this program you accept it as is and agree to
- the limits of liability and other provisions outlined in LICENSE.TXT.
- You should read that file before proceeding with installation or using
- the program.
-
- Copyrights and trademarks remain the property of their owners.

-
- ==========================================================================
- H A R D & S O F T W A R E R E Q U I R E M E N T S
- ==========================================================The Minimums====
-
-
-
- o IBM OS/2 2.1 or OS/2 for Windows 1.0
-
- o 386SX
-
- o 4 MB total memory
-
- o Up to 4 MB free disk space
-
- o TCP/IP base kit or OS/2 Internet Access Kit

- ==============================================For Those In A Hurry========
-
-
-
- o Unzip the archive into a directory of your choice.
-
- - When updating to a new version, it is a good idea to backup first,
- and check host configuration after the new install.
-
- - Use unzip (or pkunzip with the -d option), assuring that directories
- are created as needed.
-
- - Unzipping over the old version allows continued use of existing
- data files and configuration.
-
- o Launch install.cmd to create an InJoy folder on your desktop.
-
- o Launch InJoy and configure (NOTE: This is a VERY short tutorial.
- Many find that it works for them, first time. More detailed
- information can be found in the file USERGUID.TXT.)
-
- - Start the configuration process by clicking on [New] under [Host]
-
- - As a guide, use the "hint" (appearing at the bottom of the screen)
- for each user configurable option.
-
- - Type "Test" in the Configuration name block and, when you have
- filled in your "Test" Host, DO NOT press 'Save as Default' until
- you have a proven configuration.
-
- - Fill in your user ID and password in the appropriate blocks.
-
- - Continue until all blocks specific to your needs are configured.
-
- Like nameserver, phone number, modem init strings, COM port
- selection....those kinds of "must have" blocks.
-
- - NOTE: If your ISP offers automatic negotiation through PAP or CHAP
- you will probably NOT need a log on script. Therefore do NOT setup
- InJoy for automatic script learning unless you are certain that a
- script is required. Many find a script unnecessary.
-
- o Try a hookup by clicking on [Dial].
-
-
-
-
-
- ==========================================================================
- K I L L J O Y
- =======================================Just In Case=======================
-
-
-
- KILLJOY.EXE is a small utility program that will kill InJoy from the
- command line and still allow the connection log to update correctly.
-
- o Open an OS/2 command window
-
- o Change to InJoy's directory
-
- o Type "killjoy" (without the quotes) and press enter. InJoy will die
- instantly, and drop any modem connections.
-
- o Or, type "killjoy -" (again, without the quotes) and press enter.
- InJoy will die as soon as the modem connection is dropped
-
- InJoy's implementation of user configurable disconnect actions makes the
- Killjoy program obsolete. However, it is retained in the distribution
- archive for backward compatibility and for those whose existing script
- routines require it.
-
-
-
-
-
- ==========================================================================
- F E A T U R E L I S T
- =======================================They Made InJoy Famous=============
-
-

-
- o Full 32 bit PPP or compressed SLIP connections (compliant with the
- latest RFC's)

-
- o Dial on Demand
-
- o NAT (share PPP connection simultaneously with work stations on your
- LAN, including Mac's, Win95, 3.1 and all other TCP/IP clients)
-
- o Intelligent modem sharing. If the modem is busy (e.g. in use by a
- fax or other comm program), InJoy will attempt to dial every five
- seconds until the port is free, at which time it will complete the
- the dial.
-
- o Host Triggered Actions
-
- o Port speeds configurable to 345,600 (hardware and driver permitting)
-
- o Disconnect actions allowing program exit on any of these events:

-
- - Any unprovoked disconnect
-
- - Idle TIMEOUT
-
- - TIMER expire
-
- - Dialing failure
-
- o CHAP and PAP authentication fully supported (including MS-CHAP
- for NT server support)

- setup's with constantly changing passwords (such as SecureID).
-
- o Auto Internet connect at program start
-
- o Auto line drop if modem negotiates a connection at a speed lower than
- the user configurable limit
-
- o Auto re-connect if carrier drops unintentionally
-
